Lest We Forget

Written for Saturday Scribes - theme: Lest We Forget
prompts: League, Hundred, Valley, Shattered

Amongst the scars of fire and shell
Where hundred upon hundred fell
Between the valley and the peak
Their voices never more to speak
A league of soldiers rent asunder
Lost to the pounding guns at plunder

Place the crosses row on row
Where shattered land no more does grow
Etch their names upon the stone
Those men who never will come home
And play the bugle calling yet -
Come to remember, lest we forget
